This 1970’s Precision Bass Sounds UNREAL!

I have a new bass! A few weeks ago I bought a 1978 Fender P Bass (short for Fender Precision Bass) from a bass player here in London called Dave Swift.

If you don't know much about Dave, he's one of the top session bassists here in London. His main gig is with Jools Holland who's famous Rhythm & Blues pianist and host of the wonderful TV show Later With Jools Holland.

I'd been looking for a bass that sounds authentically "old" for quite some time. As much as I love my Sadowsky there's no getting away from the fact that it sounds like a modern bass.

I'd also been flirting with the idea of getting a bass made that had no EQ. I love using my hands to get as many different tones as I can so when you couple a P Bass' minimal tone options (tone and volume dials. NOTHING else) with the fact this particular bass was made in 1978 it was a no-brainer.

After visiting Dave at his studio and collecting the bass I took it home, used it on a gig and filmed this short demo.

All the music you hear in this video demo has been made using the new P Bass and I hope you'll agree when I say it's been one of the best investments I've made!
